Thanksgiving was wonderful, all the usual home foods and lots of good company.

The animals are starting to return after the hurricane. We had heard there was a toucan in the area and that our friend Kay was feeding it. It's got to be hard for the birds with most of the trees down. Anyway, Mimi saw it this morning! She got to watch it for awhile before it flew off. Unfortunately, no pictures.


We have moved back upstairs to the condo. Some of our resident geckos seem to have had babies. We've spotted 2 really tiny ones and Mimi caught one of them and we got pictures. That's our friend Rodrigo's hand it is on. If you have lots of geckos you don't have spiders or mosquitoes, love those geckos.

There is also a crocodile in the cenote across the street. I haven't seen it yet but hear it is not too big but big enough to catch a small dog. We keep ours away from there! We've seen a racoon family and a possum as well. The grackles that used to hang out in the palm in front of our deck are not around since the palm is gone. I'm putting oatmeal out again and one of them came by to eat yesterday, I'm sure the word will spread.
